To create something new means to transform yourself.
That’s why true creation is rare.
The new might turn useful and honored later, maybe. But now it’s shaky, dirty, alien, risky, and strange.
The opportunity looks like a narrow black hole—uncomfortable to even peek into, let alone crawl through.
Why do some folks leap into that void with glee?
They’re not fools, thrill seekers, or self-destructive souls. Quite the opposite: they’re sharp, grounded, and very much in love with life.
So something redeems the inevitable emotional, mental, and physical burns from touching the Unknown. Yes, a prize waits. It’s the Creator’s joy in changing the world:
Where a dead desert lay, an oasis blooms and a fountain gushes.
How did these men spot a whole ocean under scorching sand?
Like seeks like. The water of life springs inside them.
Yours sincerely,
